I can attest to that. It's quite often over half full ex-Armidale, and
almost full ex-Tamworth. You'd need 7 buses to carry that many people.
Some people up here wouldn't mind seeing the XPT back, especially at
Easter. A 2+5 XPT (built up to 2+6, XP-XL-XBR-XF-XF-XF-XFH-XP, for Easter
and other peak times) could certainly bee justified on the Armidale run,
if a connecting service to Moree was provided at Werris Creek.
Does anybody know how average loadings on NT25/NT26 have been and if a
4-car Xplorer would be inadequate?
Cheers
